    I allow my Cichlids to cross breed and had the chance to get some beautiful fish with amazing colors.

    Great video. Is that center piece background rock from universal rocks? I like how its not a complete background and you can still have your filtration inputs and outputs not going through it

      Hi chris yes it is. I believe it is the model BFR-004 on universals website (I think that's the correct model)

    Hey Adam so I've got 2 young groups of Protomelas Ornatus and Tramitichromis Intermedius Kambiri and as I said they are small but at what size can I expect them to be at a breeding age or size and I am keeping them separate from all other species. But curious as to when I can expect them to begin possibly breeding? Thanks RH

    • @adamc7918
      @adamc7918  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It can be hard to say. Depends on tank size, their health, if they are stressed or not. I've bred both of those before, my ornatus group first spawned when the Male was 5.5 inches and the female was around 4. The kambiri were smaller, probably 3.5 to 4 inch if I remember correctly

    • @adamc7918
      @adamc7918  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The kambiri may be able to stay in a 40 for a while. Adult ornatus will outgrow that. My last ornatus Male was 8.5 inches when he passed

I have a feeling of my Protomelas Ornatus showing some yellow on their dorsal fin and wanted to know if you believe if I can probably count on those being males Bec see no color on any female pics I've looked up. Also looking to possibly find one more Happy to breed and wondered what your take is on Mylochromis Lateristriga? Also appreciate the info and time answering my questions so if all goes well down the road would like to, if you are interested, send some your way as a thank you.

    Crossbreeding will definitely occur! I had a female Mbenji Blue Regal Peacock breed with a Male Yellow Blaze Lithobates and vice versa Female Litho w/ Male Regal. I would imagine that this behavior is a natural occurrence in the wild...

    • @adamc7918
      @adamc7918  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If similar looking fish breed it can be hard to tell if hybridization occurred. If hybrid fry get out they can breed further and it potentially could taint a pure line species of fish and people don't have the aquarium fish they think they do
